Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine.

  For example, in a well-known pachinko machine called a “seven machine”, if you win a start chucker (also called a start chucker or a start winning opening) or a through chucker (also called a start gate), a random lottery (a big win lottery) ) To determine whether or not it is correct. Based on the determination result, the liquid crystal display unit (symbol display unit; variable display means) having one or a plurality of (for example, three digits) symbol display areas displays the symbols variably over a predetermined time and then displays the symbols (stop display). . Further, when the liquid crystal display unit displays a big win symbol (for example, a three-digit doublet such as “777”), a big hit is generated (invoked) and the attacker (big prize opening) is opened.

  In the above jackpot lottery (win / fail lottery), the winning probability is predetermined for each model (for example, 1/300 to 1/500), so the game is standardized and monotonous, and gradually loses interest. There is a tendency to end up. Therefore, two types of jackpots are set by providing two sets of start chuckers, lottery means, symbol display units, attackers, etc., and the games executed in each group (each game area) are related to enhance the interest. Has been proposed (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP 10-277207 A JP 2005-192990 A

  However, in any of the techniques described in these documents, variation display corresponding to two sets of lottery results is executed in parallel at two locations on the game board. Therefore, the gaming state on the game board may be complicated and difficult to understand, and providing two sets of symbol display units, attackers, etc. may reduce the gaming area or increase costs. In addition, when the same variation display is executed in parallel at two places, a certain degree of satisfaction can be obtained if one of the winning / losing lotteries (variable display) is a big win. May be less interested and may lack focus and tension on the game.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko gaming machine capable of providing a variety of games and improving interest while allowing simple games while simultaneously displaying variable display of symbols based on two sets of lottery results. It is to provide.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to solve the above problems, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is
A first display information output means for executing a lottery determination in accordance with establishment of the first start condition, and generating / outputting symbol display information related to a variable display and a stop display of symbols such as characters and numbers based on the first lottery result; ,
A second display information output means for executing a lottery determination in accordance with the establishment of the second start condition, and generating / outputting symbol display information related to a variable display and a stop display of symbols such as characters and numbers based on the second lottery result; ,
A first symbol display area for variably displaying and stopping a symbol based on the symbol display information arranged on the game board and generated / output by the first display information output means, and generated by the second display information output means Variable display means in which a second symbol display area for variably displaying and stopping the symbol based on the symbol information to be output is connected and formed;
Display operation means that is artificially operated to change the size of the display area or the size of the display pattern of at least one of the first symbol display area and the second symbol display area;
In each symbol display area of the variable display means, the symbols are variably displayed and stopped based on the symbol display information output from the first display information output means and the second display information output means, and the display operation means is operated. And display control means for controlling the area of the first symbol display area and the second symbol display area or the size of the symbol to be displayed.

In addition, in order to solve the above problems, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is
Lottery means for executing a lottery determination upon establishment of a predetermined start condition;
Distribution means for distributing the lottery result of the lottery means to the first lottery result and the second lottery result;
First display information output means for generating and outputting symbol display information related to variable display and stop display of symbols such as letters and numbers based on the first lottery result;
Based on the second lottery result, second display information output means for generating / outputting symbol display information related to variable display and stop display of symbols such as letters and numbers;
A first symbol display area for variably displaying and stopping a symbol based on the symbol display information which is arranged on the game board and generated / output by the first display information output unit; and the second display information output unit. Variable display means in which a second symbol display area for variably displaying and stopping the symbol based on the symbol display information generated / output is connected and formed;
Display operation means that is artificially operated to change the size of the display area or the size of the display pattern of at least one of the first symbol display area and the second symbol display area;
In each symbol display area of the variable display means, the symbols are variably displayed and stopped based on the symbol display information output from the first display information output means and the second display information output means, and the display operation means is operated. And display control means for controlling the area of the first symbol display area and the second symbol display area or the size of the symbol to be displayed.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine, two symbol display areas of the variable display means (for example, the liquid crystal display unit) are simultaneously displayed while simultaneously displaying the variable display of the symbols by the corresponding display information output means based on the two sets of lottery results. The area or the size of the pattern to be displayed can be changed by the display operation means (for example, a dial). As a result, it is possible to display symbols in substantially only one symbol display area, and a game that is simple and easy to understand when viewed from the player side becomes possible. In addition, when a special symbol (for example, a jackpot symbol) is arranged in the symbol display area where the area is displayed small, the game state can be immediately confirmed by operating the display operation means to enlarge the display region. Don't lose.

  In addition, for example, if you do not want to be peeped by the next player etc. in the probability change state or short time state etc. after the big hit, if you want to display the symbol display information you do not want to look small, It is possible to enjoy games (such as jackpots) quietly and improve the variety of games. Specifically, when a long reach or the like that is likely to be a big hit than a normal reach has occurred or is likely to occur, the display operation means can be operated to display a smaller one. A typical example of “satisfaction of start condition” is “winning a start winning opening arranged on the game board”. Therefore, “the first (or second) starting condition is satisfied” is achieved by “the winning to the first (or second) starting winning opening arranged on the game board”.

  In such a pachinko gaming machine, the display operation means can be operated regardless of whether the display mode of the symbols in the first symbol display area and / or the second symbol display area is in a variable display or a stop display. Is desirable.

  Thereby, the display operation means can perform the change operation at any time without being influenced by the display mode of the symbols displayed in the first symbol display area and the second symbol display area. Here, “the display mode of the symbol is variable” means that the symbol moves or vibrates without being stationary for notifying the lottery result or displaying the stand-by effect regardless of the lottery. It means doing. In addition, “The display mode of the symbol is stopped” means that after the symbol is variably displayed, the lottery symbol or the off symbol is frozen and the lottery result is fixedly displayed, or the symbol is stationary during the waiting before the lottery. It means being. Therefore, for example, when the symbols displayed in the second symbol display area are aligned with the special symbols and a special state occurs, the display operation means is immediately operated to display the enlarged symbol in the second symbol display area. Special condition) can be confirmed.

  In addition, if the display operation means changes the area ratio of these display areas by moving the boundary located between the 1st symbol display area and the 2nd symbol display area, The rate of change can be shown large and easy to understand.

  Then, a special symbol is stopped and displayed in one of the first symbol display area and the second symbol display area, and execution of a special state advantageous to the player is started based on the special symbol displayed and stopped. When the other symbol display area is in the variable display of the symbol, the display information output means corresponding to the other symbol display area continues to output the variable display until the execution of the special state is completed. be able to.

  That is, a special symbol is stopped and displayed in one symbol display area of the variable display means, and the symbol variation display can be continued in the other symbol display area until execution of a special state (for example, jackpot) based on the special symbol is completed. Therefore, each game based on the two sets of lottery results is executed one by one without being processed at the same time. Thereby, the fairness of the game can be ensured and confusion can be prevented.

  Specifically, when one symbol display area is stopped and displayed with a special symbol, that is, when execution of a special state is started in one symbol display area, the other symbol display area is also in a special state as a matter of course. It is. Therefore, the other display information output means continues the output of the variable display until the execution of the special state is completed in one symbol display area, thereby giving a chance of a continuous special state (so-called continuous change) in the other symbol display area. Don't take it away. In order to continue the output of the fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation display), for example, the operation (clocking) of the fluctuation timer that measures the symbol fluctuation time is temporarily suspended (interrupted), or the symbol fluctuation time is reset (extended). You can do it.

And with such pachinko machines,
First voice information output means for creating and outputting voice information based on the symbol display information generated by the first display information output means;
Second voice information output means for creating and outputting voice information based on the symbol display information generated by the second display information output means;
The two voice information output from the first voice information output means and the second voice information output means is volumed based on the area ratio of the first symbol display area and the second symbol display area or the size ratio of the symbols to be displayed. And voice control means for outputting voice to a speaker arranged in the.

  As described above, since the sound is output to the speaker at a volume based on (for example, proportional to) the area ratio of the two symbol display areas or the dimension ratio of the symbol to be displayed, the player can play a game with a sense of presence in which the display and the voice match. Can enjoy. Note that the sound information output to the speaker may be output in synchronization with the output of the symbol display information to each symbol display area in order to enhance the sound effect.

Example 1
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to examples shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic front view showing an example of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged explanatory view of a game board. A pachinko gaming machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a transparent glass door 2 attached to a frame, and a game board 3 disposed inside the frame and covered by the glass door 2. A circular game area is formed on the game board 3. Below the game board 3, a ball supply tray 4 is provided. Balls (game balls; game media) prepared in the ball supply tray 4 are fired toward the game board 3 by a ball firing mechanism including a firing handle 5. Since a large number of nails 3a are planted on the game board 3, balls that have reached the game area of the game board 3 through rails (not shown) fall on the surface of the game board 3 while being hit by the nails 3a. To do. Reference numeral 6 denotes an out port for collecting balls that did not win any of the winning ports.

  In the vicinity of the center of the game board 3, a horizontally long rectangular liquid crystal display section 44 (pseudo special symbol display section; variable display means) is disposed. It is divided (divided into two equal parts) into two left and right symbol display areas 441 and 442 by a moving vertical boundary line 440. In the first symbol display area 441 positioned on the left side and the second symbol display area 442 positioned on the right side, a plurality of columns of symbols (for example, three-digit Arabic numerals) are displayed in a liquid crystal display. That is, the first symbol display area 441 and the second symbol display area 442 are connected and formed in a straight line with a boundary line 440 movable in the left-right direction.

  A first start chucker 12 (first start winning opening) that opens upward is disposed at the lower center of the liquid crystal display unit 44. Also, immediately below the first start chucker 12, a second start chucker 13 (second start winning opening) having a pair of rotating blade pieces 13a and 13a that are opened and closed is arranged. Below the first start chucker 12 and the second start chucker 13, the first lottery executed based on the winning to the first start chucker 12 or the winning to the second start chucker 13 is executed. In the second lottery, there is provided an attacker 14 (large winning opening; variable winning device) that is opened when winning (big win). Further, on the left side of the liquid crystal display unit 44, when a ball passes, a preliminary lottery is performed, and if the result is a win, the through blades 13a and 13a of the second start chucker 13 are opened for a predetermined time. A chucker 11 (starting gate) is arranged.

  Since the second start chucker 13 is located immediately below the first start chucker 12, the winning rate for the second start chucker 13 is the first start chucker 12 when the rotary blade pieces 13a and 13a are closed. It becomes very low compared with. The opening time of the rotary wing pieces 13a, 13a when winning in the preliminary lottery is difficult to win because it is short in normal games, but in the short time state after the big hit, the opening time is extended and it becomes easy to win. Therefore, in the normal state, it is easy to generate a big hit by the first lottery based on the winning to the first start chucker 12, and in the short-time state after the big hit, the second lottery based on the winning to the second start chucker 13 is again a big hit. Probability increases.

  In the first symbol display area 441 of the liquid crystal display unit 44, the result of the first lottery read from the first special symbol storage area 24a (see FIG. 6B) indicates the above-described three-digit symbol (for example, “ 123 ”). That is, according to the lottery result of the first lottery (the lottery based on the winning to the first start chucker 12), the symbols are displayed in a predetermined order for each digit for a predetermined time (for example, left symbol → right symbol). → in the order of middle symbols), a three-digit jackpot symbol or a missing symbol is fixedly displayed in the first symbol display area 441 of the liquid crystal display unit 44.

  On the other hand, in the second symbol display area 442 of the liquid crystal display unit 44, the result of the second lottery read from the second special symbol storage area 24b (see FIG. 6B) indicates the above-described three-digit symbol ( For example, “567”) is derived and displayed. That is, according to the lottery result of the second lottery (the lottery based on winning the second start chucker 13), the symbols are displayed in a predetermined order for each digit for a predetermined time (for example, left symbol → right symbol). → in the order of middle symbols), a three-digit jackpot symbol or a missing symbol is fixedly displayed in the second symbol display area 442 of the liquid crystal display unit 44.

  As described above, the symbol variation display in the first symbol display area 441 based on the first lottery and the symbol variation display in the second symbol display area 442 based on the second lottery are executed independently of each other. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the boundary line 440 located between the first symbol display area 441 and the second symbol display area 442 is moved to the center front side (front side) of the ball supply tray 4. Accordingly, a display movement dial 60 (display operation means) that is artificially operated in order to change the area ratio between the display areas 441 and 442 is provided. The display movement dial 60 can be operated regardless of whether the symbols displayed in the first symbol display area 441 and the second symbol display area 442 are in a variable display or in a stop display, in other words, at any time. Change operation can be done quickly. The display moving dial 60 may be configured to slide the boundary line 440 as an entity on the liquid crystal display unit 44 using a driving source such as a motor or a solenoid. It is desirable to control the movement.

  In addition, a special symbol display unit 45 (variable display means) and a special symbol hold display unit 46 are arranged vertically above and below the liquid crystal display unit 44 (to the right of the first start chucker 12). On the other hand, a normal symbol display unit 47 and a normal symbol hold display unit 48 are arranged vertically above and below the liquid crystal display unit 44 (to the left of the first start chucker 12).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the special symbol display unit 45 is composed of a plurality of (for example, two digits) segment display areas. Each segment display area is arranged on the left side and a first special symbol display unit 451 (symbol display area) for displaying the lottery result of the first big hit lottery (first lottery), and the second big hit lottery (second) The second special symbol display unit 452 (symbol display region) for displaying the lottery result of the lottery is configured. The first special symbol display unit 451 (second special symbol display unit 452) is formed in a seven-segment system in which seven segments are individually turned on to represent numbers, and the first lottery result (second lottery result) is displayed in a variable manner. During this, all segments are blinked and stopped after a predetermined time. At this time, if only the center bar is lit as shown in FIG. 3 (b), it indicates that the symbol is a defeated symbol (out of symbol), and the numbers 0 to 9 (eg, “7”) are lit as shown in FIG. 3 (c). This means that it is a winning symbol (a jackpot symbol).

  The first special symbol display unit 451 and the second special symbol display unit 452 may be fluctuating at the same time (all segments blinking). The other continues (continues) the variable display until the execution of the game corresponding to the symbol is completed. If you win a jackpot at the same time in the first lottery and the second lottery, if the player wins the jackpot at the same time, the player may not be able to earn twice the jackpot. The other variable timer is stopped (suspended) so that the player does not lose.

  Thus, both the liquid crystal display unit 44 and the special symbol display unit 45 are common in that the lottery results of the jackpot lottery are confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol (winning symbol) or a missed symbol (lost symbol). However, the liquid crystal display unit 44 mainly functions as a pseudo (dummy) variable display unit that shares the production display, while the special symbol display unit 45 functions as a regular variable display unit that mainly shares the lottery result notification. To do. In this way, by sharing the functions between the liquid crystal display unit 44 and the special symbol display unit 45, it is possible to diversify the production.

  The special symbol hold display unit 46 includes a plurality (for example, four) of LED display areas. Of these, the left two LED display areas 461a and 461b constitute a first special symbol hold display unit 461 that represents the number of holds in the first lottery corresponding to the first special symbol display unit 451. On the other hand, the two right LED display areas 462a and 462b constitute a second special symbol hold display unit 462 that represents the number of holds in the second lottery corresponding to the second special symbol display unit 452.

  When the first start chucker 12 wins during the symbol change of the liquid crystal display unit 44 (first special symbol display unit 451), the LED display areas 461a and 461b of the first special symbol hold display unit 461 are in the first lottery. The reserved number is expressed in binary format. Specifically, when one ball is won in the first start chucker 12, the area 461a is lit in orange and the area 461b is turned off to indicate the number of holds. Hereinafter, the area 461a is lit in orange, the area 461b is lit in orange and the hold number is 2, the area 461a is flashed in orange, the area 461b is lit in orange, the hold number is 3, and the area 461a is flashed in orange. 461b blinks orange to indicate the number of holdings of four. On the other hand, each time the symbol change of the liquid crystal display unit 44 (first special symbol display unit 451) starts, the hold information (lottery result) in the LED display areas 461a and 461b is forwarded, and the number of holds is displayed one by one. The In this way, by combining the turn-off / light-on / flashing, it is possible to display up to four holds with two LEDs.

  It should be noted that, when the second start chucker 13 has won a prize during the symbol variation of the liquid crystal display unit 44 (second special symbol display unit 452), an addition display of the holding number, and the liquid crystal display unit 44 (second special symbol display unit) 452) is also similarly performed using the LED display areas 462a and 462b.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the normal symbol display unit 47 is composed of one or a plurality of (for example, one) LED display areas. In this normal symbol display unit 47, the symbol variation display is performed by switching the LED emission color (for example, alternately switching between green and orange) according to the result of the preliminary lottery performed when the ball passes through the through chucker 11. In the case of winning, the display is confirmed (stop display) with one color (for example, green), and the display is confirmed (stop display) with the other color (for example, orange).

  When the ball passes through the through chucker 11 during the symbol variation of the normal symbol display unit 47, the LED display areas 48a and 48b of the normal symbol hold display unit 48 indicate the number of reserves of the preliminary lottery in a binary number system. Specifically, when one ball passes through the through chucker 11, the area 48a of the normal symbol hold display section 48 is lit in orange and the area 48b is turned off, indicating the number of holds. Hereinafter, the area 48a is lit in orange, the area 48b is lit in orange, the holding number is 2, the area 48a is flashed in orange, the area 48b is lit in orange, the holding number is 3, and the area 48a is flashed in orange. 48b blinks orange to indicate the number of holdings of four. On the other hand, each time the symbol change of the normal symbol display section 47 is started, the hold information (lottery result) in the LED display areas 48a and 48b is forwarded, and the number of hold is displayed one by one. In this way, by combining the turn-off / light-on / flashing, it is possible to display up to four holds with two LEDs.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the game control device 20 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The game control device 20 is disposed on the back side of the game board 3. As shown in FIG. 5, the game control device 20 includes a main board 21 (main control unit), a display control board 26 (display control unit; first display information output means; second display information output means), and a voice control board 27. (Voice control unit; first voice information output means; second voice information output means), lamp control board 28 (lamp control part), payout control board 29 (prize ball control part) and launch control board 30 (launch control part) It is configured to include. A configuration in which each board is individually provided with a CPU and a memory is common, but is omitted in FIG. In addition, power of a predetermined voltage generated by the power supply circuit unit 35 is supplied to each board via the main board 21.

  The main board 21 includes an arithmetic unit CPU 22 (first lottery means; second lottery means; jackpot generating means; display control means; voice control means), various programs 23a to 23k, first jackpot lottery table 231 and second A ROM 23 which is a read-only storage device in which the big hit lottery table 23m and the like (see FIG. 6A) are stored in advance, a RAM 24 which is a readable / writable main storage device and used as a work area, and an input / output port 25 These are connected to each other via a bus (not shown).

  The display control board 26 creates and outputs symbol display information according to the display control signal input from the main board 21, and executes processing (control) for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display unit 44. The sound control board 27 creates and outputs sound information in accordance with the sound control signal input from the main board 21 and outputs sound from the speaker 40 (including an amplifier; see FIG. 1). The lamp control board 28 controls blinking of the lamps 41 (see FIG. 1) according to the lamp control signal input from the main board 21. The payout control board 29 controls the payout device 42 according to the prize ball signal input from the main board 21. Thereby, a predetermined amount of prize balls are paid out to the player (ball payout tray). The launch control board 30 activates the launch device 43 according to the launch signal input from the main board 21 based on the operation of the launch handle 5 (see FIG. 1) by the player. The special symbol display unit 45, the special symbol hold display unit 46, the normal symbol display unit 47, and the normal symbol hold display unit 48 are driven and controlled by a display control signal output from the main board 21 (CPU 22).

  The main board 21 includes a gate passage detector 31 attached to the through chucker 11, a first start prize detector 32 attached to the first start chucker 12, and a second start prize detection attached to the second start chucker 13. The ball detection signals from the big prize detector 34 attached to the device 33 and the attacker 14 are input (see FIG. 1). Each detector 31, 32, 33, 34 can be constituted by a contact type or non-contact type sensor (switch). In addition, an operation signal is input from the display movement dial 60 for moving the boundary line 440 located between the first symbol display area 441 and the second symbol display area 442.

  On the other hand, the opening and closing of the second start chucker 13 configured as a start winning opening is realized by switching the excitation / de-excitation of the second chucker solenoid 36 by an output signal from the main board 21. The opening / closing of the attacker 14 configured as a variable winning device is realized by switching between excitation / de-energization of the attacker solenoid 36 by an output signal from the main board 21.

  Here, the outline of the flow of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (change in the game state on the game board 3) will be described with reference to FIGS. When the ball enters the through chucker 11 (passes through the gate) and is detected by the gate passage detector 31, a preliminary lottery is executed and the lottery result is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 47. If the result of the preliminary lottery is successful, the LED of the normal symbol display unit 47 is lit in green (stop display), and the rotary blade pieces 13a and 13a are excited for a predetermined time (for example, 0) by the excitation of the second chuck solenoid 36. .5 seconds) and it becomes easy to win the second start chucker 13.

  When the ball wins the second start chucker 13 and is detected by the second start winning detector 33, the second start condition is satisfied, and the second big lottery table 23m (see FIG. 6A) is used. A lottery (internal lottery) is performed. When the determination of losing is made in the second lottery, the symbols are variably displayed for a predetermined time for each digit in the second symbol display area 442 of the liquid crystal display unit 44, and then a three-digit losing symbol (for example, “123”) is displayed. Etc.) is confirmed (stopped). At the same time, a one-digit lost symbol (see FIG. 3B) is fixedly displayed (stopped display) on the second special symbol display unit 452 (symbol display region) of the special symbol display unit 45, and the symbol changing operation ends. . In addition, when a jackpot determination (second jackpot) is made in the second lottery, after the second special symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time for each digit in the second symbol display area 442 of the liquid crystal display unit 44, A 3-digit jackpot symbol (for example, a doublet such as “777”) is confirmed (stopped). At the same time, a one-digit winning symbol (see FIG. 3C) is confirmed (stopped) on the second special symbol display unit 452 (symbol display region) of the special symbol display unit 45, and the “second big hit state (special Gaming state) ”.

  Then, the attacker 14 is opened by the excitation of the attacker solenoid 37, and a situation where the balls are very easy to enter is brought about. Since the opening of the attacker 14 is repeated up to a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times at maximum), with a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning detection by the big prize detector 34 or the passage of a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds) as one round. During the second big hit state, the player can obtain a large number of prize balls.

  Apart from the above-described game flow, when the ball is won by the first start chucker 12 and detected by the first start winning detector 32, the first start condition is established, and the first big hit lottery table 23l (FIG. 6 ( A first lottery (internal lottery) using a) is performed. When the determination of losing is made in the first lottery, the symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time for each digit in the first symbol display area 441 of the liquid crystal display unit 44, and then a three-digit losing symbol (for example, “123”) is displayed. Etc.) is confirmed (stopped). At the same time, the one-digit symbol symbol (see FIG. 3B) is fixedly displayed (stopped display) on the first special symbol display unit 451 (symbol display region) of the special symbol display unit 45, and the symbol changing operation ends. . In addition, when the jackpot determination (first jackpot) is made in the first lottery, after the first special symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time for each digit in the first symbol display area 441 of the liquid crystal display unit 44, A 3-digit jackpot symbol (for example, a doublet such as “777”) is confirmed (stopped). At the same time, a one-digit winning symbol (see FIG. 3C) is fixedly displayed (stopped display) on the first special symbol display unit 451 (symbol display region) of the special symbol display unit 45, and the “first big hit state (special Gaming state) ”.

  Then, the attacker 14 is opened by the excitation of the attacker solenoid 37, and a situation where the balls are very easy to enter is brought about. Since the opening of the attacker 14 is repeated up to a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times at maximum), with a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning detection by the big prize detector 34 or the passage of a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds) as one round. During the first big hit state, the player can obtain a large number of prize balls.

  Furthermore, the amount of movement of the boundary line 440 is determined in accordance with the amount of operation of the display movement dial 60, and the area ratio between the first symbol display area 441 and the second symbol display area 442 is determined. Note that the volume of sound output (such as sound effects) from the speaker 40 is also determined by the amount of movement (area ratio) of the boundary line 440.

  In FIG. 5, the CPU 22 performs a first lottery function for executing a first lottery for winning or losing in accordance with a start winning for the first start chucker 12, and a start winning for the second start chucker 13. Accordingly, the second lottery means for executing the second lottery for winning or losing is provided. In addition, the CPU 22 has a function as a jackpot generating means that activates a jackpot according to the determination result of the first lottery or the second lottery. Further, the CPU 22 functions as a display control means for causing the first special symbol display unit 451 to perform the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol display unit 452 to perform the variable display of the second special symbol, respectively. have. This display control means controls (adjusts) the movement amount of the boundary line 440 according to the operation amount of the display movement dial 60.

  The RAM 24 is a storage area for storing the first special symbol (the lottery result of the first lottery), the second special symbol (the lottery result of the second lottery), and the normal symbol (the lottery result of the preliminary lottery). 24a, 24b, and 24c (see FIG. 6B) are provided. Further, the RAM 24 includes a first variation timer 24d for measuring the symbol variation time in the first special symbol display unit 451 and a first variation timer for measuring the symbol variation time in the second special symbol display unit 452. A 2-variation timer 24e is provided (see FIG. 6B).

  In addition, the liquid crystal display unit 44 displays the symbols of each digit variably over a predetermined time based on the lottery results of the first lottery and the second lottery (CPU 22) and the second lottery, and then stops the display. Thus, it has a function as variable display means for confirming and displaying the jackpot symbol or the off symbol. Furthermore, the special symbol display unit 45 displays the symbols after variably displaying for a predetermined time based on the lottery results of the first lottery and the second lottery means (CPU 22) by the first lottery means and the second lottery means, It has a function as variable display means for confirming and displaying a winning symbol or a winning symbol.

  Next, the control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. The flowcharts of FIGS. 7 to 16 correspond to the programs 23b to 23m stored in the ROM 23 of FIG.

  First, in the flowchart showing the first start winning detection process of FIG. 7, it is confirmed in S1 whether the first start winning detector 32 has detected a start winning to the first start chucker 12. In the case of winning detection (YES in S1), the first lottery is executed in S2, and the number of first special symbols held (the number stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a) has reached 4 in S3. Determine whether. If the number of retained first special symbols is three or less (NO in S3), the first lottery result in S2 is stored in S4, a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S5, and the process returns. If the number of reserved special symbols has reached four (YES in S3), a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S5 and the process returns. If the first start prize detector 32 has not detected a start prize (NO in S1), the process immediately returns.

  Subsequently, in the flowchart showing the second start winning detection process of FIG. 8, it is confirmed in S11 whether the second start winning detector 33 has detected the start winning to the second start chucker 13. In the case of winning detection (YES in S11), the second lottery is executed in S12, and whether the number of second special symbols held (the number of memories stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b) has reached four in S13. Determine whether. If the number of second special symbols held is 3 or less (NO in S13), the second lottery result of S12 is stored in S14, a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S15, and the process returns. If the number of reserved special symbols has reached four (YES in S13), a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S15 and the process returns. If the second start winning detector 33 has not detected a start winning (NO in S11), the process immediately returns.

  Specifically, for example, the first big hit lottery table 23l and the second big hit lottery table 23m so that the winning probability in the first lottery in S2 is 1/500 and the winning probability in the second lottery in S12 is 1/50. (See FIG. 6A) is set. When the winning probabilities of the first lottery and the second lottery are set equal, both the lottery tables 23l and 23m can be shared. In addition, after the jackpot ends (after the first jackpot ends or after the second jackpot ends), until the first and second special symbols change display operation reaches 100 times, or the first jackpot and the second jackpot It is set so as to be in a time-saving state until the earlier condition is satisfied. Specifically, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shortened from 30 seconds in the normal time to 1 second in the time reduction, and the opening time of the rotating blade pieces 13a, 13a of the second start chucker 13 is 0.5 seconds in the normal time. × 1 time to 1.8 seconds × 3 times during time reduction. In addition, the normal symbol hit probability is set to a high probability of 127/128.

  Next, in the flowchart showing the calling process of the first special symbol in FIG. 9, it is confirmed in S21 whether the number of the first special symbol held (the number stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a) is one or more. If there is a hold of the first special symbol (YES in S21), it is confirmed in S22 whether the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. If the variation of the first special symbol is not being displayed (NO in S22), it is determined in S23 whether the jackpot flag is ON. If neither the first jackpot nor the second jackpot is activated (NO in S23), the oldest lottery result of the first lottery is called in S24, the first special symbol variation processing subroutine in S25 is executed, and the process returns. To do. When the first special symbol is not held (NO at S21), when the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner (YES at S22), and when the jackpot flag is ON (YES at S23), respectively. Return immediately (without executing the first special symbol variation processing subroutine). That is, when there is no hold, when the previous symbol variation is performed, and when the jackpot is being hit, a new symbol variation is not started.

  In the flowchart showing the variation process subroutine for the first special symbol of FIG. 10, the lottery result of the first lottery called in S24 (FIG. 9) is determined in S251, and the first variation time and the first variation are determined in S252. 1 Stop symbol is determined. Further, in S253, the first symbol display area 441 and the first special symbol display unit 451 of the liquid crystal display unit 44 start symbol variation and the first variation timer 24d starts to operate. Next, in S254, it is checked whether the first variation time has elapsed. If the first variation time has elapsed (YES in S254), the symbol variation is stopped and the first stop symbol is displayed in S255, and it is determined in S256 whether the first stop symbol matches the jackpot symbol. . If the first stop symbol matches the jackpot symbol (YES in S256), the jackpot flag is turned on in S257 and the process returns. If the first stop symbol does not match the jackpot symbol (NO in S256), the process immediately returns.

  On the other hand, if the first variation time has not elapsed (NO in S254), it is checked in S258 whether the big hit flag is ON. When the big hit flag is ON (YES in S258), the operation (time count) of the first fluctuation timer 24d is stopped (interrupted) in S259, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is displayed during the first big hit. continue. When the second jackpot is activated and the jackpot flag is turned OFF (YES in S260), the operation (timekeeping) of the first variation timer 24d is resumed in S261, and the process returns to the step next to S253. If the jackpot flag is OFF from the beginning (NO in S258), the process immediately returns to S253.

  Subsequently, in the flowchart showing the calling process of the second special symbol in FIG. 11, it is confirmed in S31 whether the number of second special symbols to be retained (the number stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b) is one or more. If there is a hold of the second special symbol (YES in S31), it is confirmed in S32 whether the second special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. If the second special symbol variation display is not in progress (NO in S32), it is determined in S33 whether the jackpot flag is ON. If neither the first jackpot nor the second jackpot is activated (NO in S33), the oldest lottery result of the second lottery is called in S34, the second special symbol variation processing subroutine in S35 is executed, and the process returns. To do. When the second special symbol is not held (NO at S31), when the second special symbol is being changed (YES at S32), and when the jackpot flag is ON (YES at S33), respectively. Return immediately (without executing the second special symbol variation processing subroutine). That is, when there is no hold, when the previous symbol variation is performed, and when the jackpot is being hit, a new symbol variation is not started.

  In the flowchart showing the second special symbol variation processing subroutine of FIG. 12, the lottery result of the second lottery called in S34 (FIG. 11) is determined in S351, and the second variation time and the second variation are determined in S352. 2 Determine the stop symbol. In S353, the second symbol display area 442 and the second special symbol display unit 452 of the liquid crystal display unit 44 start symbol variation and the second variation timer 24e starts operating. Next, in S354, it is checked whether the second variation time has elapsed. If the second variation time has elapsed (YES in S354), the symbol variation is stopped and the second stop symbol is displayed in S355, and it is determined in S356 whether the second stop symbol matches the jackpot symbol. . If the second stop symbol matches the jackpot symbol (YES in S356), the jackpot flag is turned on in S357 and the process returns. If the second stop symbol does not match the jackpot symbol (NO in S356), the process immediately returns.

  On the other hand, if the second variation time has not elapsed (NO in S354), it is checked in S358 whether the big hit flag is ON. When the jackpot flag is ON (YES in S358), the operation (time count) of the second variation timer 24e is stopped (interrupted) in S359, and the second special symbol variation display is displayed during the first jackpot activation. continue. When the first big hit is completed and the first big hit flag is turned off (YES in S360), the operation (timekeeping) of the second variation timer 24e is resumed in S361, and the process returns to S353. If the jackpot flag is OFF from the beginning (NO in S358), the process immediately returns to S353.

  Next, the flowchart showing the jackpot process in FIG. 13 is applied in common to the first jackpot and the second jackpot, and it is confirmed in S41 whether the jackpot flag is ON. If the jackpot flag is set to ON in S257 (FIG. 10) or S357 (FIG. 12) (YES in S41), the jackpot is activated, and whether the number of jackpot rounds reaches 15 (the number of continuable rounds) in S42 Check whether or not. If the number of rounds is less than 15 (YES in S42), the number of rounds is incremented (+1) in S43, and the attacker 14 is released in S44. The open state of the attacker 14 is ended when the large winning detector 34 detects the number of winning possible prizes 10 (YES in S45) or when the open state has elapsed for 25 seconds (YES in S46), and the attacker 14 in S47. Close and return. If the jackpot flag is OFF (NO in S41), the process immediately returns.

  On the other hand, when the number of rounds has reached 15 (NO in S42), the number of rounds is reset in S48, the jackpot flag is turned OFF in S49, the jackpot activation is terminated, and the process returns. Note that the number of winning balls (the number of payouts per winning) can be set to 15, for example, when winning a jackpot.

  And the flowchart which shows the 1st display output process of FIG. 14 will always carry out a circulation operation, if a power supply is turned ON in S51, and will output 1st stand-by display information in S52 with a power supply ON. In S53, it is confirmed whether the first special symbol variation processing subroutine (FIG. 10) has been started. If the variation processing has been started (YES in S53), the first variation display information is output in S54. In S55, it is confirmed whether the variation process of the first special symbol has been completed. If it has been completed (YES in S55), it is further checked in S56 whether the stop symbol of the first special symbol matches the jackpot symbol. . If it is a jackpot symbol (YES in S56), the first jackpot display information is output in S57. Next, in S58, it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot processing has been completed. If completed (YES in S58), the process returns to S53, and if not completed (NO in S58), the process returns to S57.

  Further, the flowchart showing the second display output process of FIG. 15 also always circulates when the power is turned on in S61, and outputs the second standby display information in S62 when the power is turned on. In S64, it is confirmed whether or not the second special symbol variation processing subroutine (FIG. 12) has been started. If the variation processing has been started (YES in S63), second variation display information is output in S64. In S65, it is confirmed whether the variation process of the second special symbol has been completed. If it has been completed (YES in S65), it is further checked in S66 whether the stop symbol of the second special symbol matches the jackpot symbol. . If it is a jackpot symbol (YES in S66), the second jackpot display information is output in S67. Next, in S68, it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot process has been completed. If completed (YES in S68), the process returns to S63, and if not completed (NO in S68), the process returns to S67.

  Further, in the flowchart showing the display range processing of FIG. 16, the power is turned on in S71, and in S72, the first symbol display area 441 and the second symbol display area 442 are left and right equally (standard position) on the liquid crystal display unit 44. (Refer to FIG. 18A). When the operation of the display movement dial 60 is performed (YES in S73; see FIG. 17), the rotation direction is confirmed in S74, and if it is right rotation (YES in S74), it is confirmed that the boundary line 440 is not at the right end. In step S76, the predetermined amount boundary line 440 is moved to the right (see FIG. 18C). On the other hand, if it is counterclockwise (NO in S74), it is confirmed that the boundary line 440 is not at the left end (NO in S77), and the predetermined amount boundary line 440 is moved to the left in S78 (FIG. 18B). reference). FIG. 18D shows a state where the boundary line 440 is moved to the right end (YES in S75).

  In this way, the areas of the two symbol display areas 441 and 442 can be changed in size, and it is also possible to display symbols in only one symbol display area, which is simple and understandable from the player side. Easy games are possible. In addition, when the jackpot symbols are arranged in the symbol display area where the area is displayed small, the game state can be immediately confirmed by operating the display moving dial 60 to enlarge the display area, so that the interest is not lost. I'm sorry.

  The “display information” described in FIGS. 14 to 16 is added with “sound information” such as sound effects created by the sound control board 27 and output from the speaker 40. That is, the voice control board 27 creates voice information in accordance with the display of each symbol display area 441, 442, and outputs each voice information from the speaker 40 at a volume proportional to the size of each symbol display area 441, 442. . Specifically, when both the symbol display areas 441 and 442 are equal in size, both voice information is output at the same volume. When the symbol display areas 441 and 442 are reduced, the volume of the corresponding voice information is reduced, and the symbol display area is reduced. As 441 and 442 increase, the volume of the corresponding audio information is increased, so that a greater sense of reality can be imparted.

  For example, a player who feels noisy during a jackpot or reach production operates the display movement dial 60 to reduce the symbol display areas 441 and 442 where the jackpot display or reach display is performed, and the corresponding jackpot And the sound during reach production can be reduced. Similarly, a player who wants to hear the sound during jackpot or reach production at a high volume operates the display movement dial 60 to enlarge the symbol display areas 441 and 442 that perform the jackpot display or reach display, The sound during the corresponding jackpot or reach production can be increased.

(Modification 1)
In the modification shown in FIG. 19, a pair of display movement dials 61 and 62 (display operation means) are provided in a form corresponding to the two symbol display areas 441 and 442. Therefore, the first display movement dial 61 located on the left side functions to directly change the size of the first symbol display area 441, and the second display movement dial 62 located on the right side represents the area of the second symbol display area 442. It functions to change the size directly.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, when only the first display movement dial 61 is rotated counterclockwise from the standard position, the first symbol display area 441 moves to the left end side and becomes smaller, but the second symbol display area 442 does not move. As a result, a slight gap is formed between the display areas 441 and 442.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, when the first display movement dial 61 is rotated counterclockwise from the standard position and the second display movement dial 62 is rotated clockwise, both display areas 441 and 442 move to both end sides, respectively. And get smaller. As a result, a fairly wide space 443 is formed in the middle between the display areas 441 and 442. Therefore, the space portion 443 is mainly used as a production space, for example, the space portion 443 is regarded as the background of the display areas 441 and 442, and reach actions are displayed, or rarely seen shadow characters are displayed. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 19C, when the first display movement dial 61 is continuously rotated clockwise from the standard position, the area of the first symbol display area 441 expands to the second symbol display area 442. As a result, the first symbol display area 441 enters as if to compress and compress the elastic body, and the second symbol display area 442 is pressed and becomes smaller.

(Modification 2)
FIG. 20 shows a further modification of the pair of display movement dials 61 and 62 (display operation means). In FIG. 20, the symbols in the first symbol display area 441 and the symbols in the second symbol display area 442 are offset (shifted; wrinkled) in the front-rear direction, and can be overlapped in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the first display movement dial 61 is rotated clockwise from the standard position to stop when the first symbol display area 441 enters the second symbol display area 442, and the second display movement dial 62 is rotated counterclockwise to the second symbol. The display area 442 stops when it enters in reverse while offset in front of the first symbol display area 441. As a result, the display areas 441 and 442 are displayed so as to overlap each other so that the second symbol display area 442 is located on the front side (player side). Thus, since the second symbol display area 442 on the second display movement dial 62 side operated later is located on the front side, it is easy to check the big hit symbol or the like.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B, when both the pair of display movement dials 61 and 62 are adjusted to the area reduction side, a gap (space portion) is formed in the intermediate portion between the display regions 441 and 442. Further, as shown in FIG. 19C, when one of the pair of display movement dials 61 and 62 is adjusted to the area enlargement side, the other is pressed to the enlargement side and reduced. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 20, when both display areas 441 and 442 are offset in the front-rear direction and at least one of the pair of display movement dials 61 and 62 is adjusted to the area enlargement side, both display areas 441 and 442 are moved in the front-rear direction. Overlapping occurs.

(Example 2)
The flowchart showing the start winning detection process of FIG. 21 is expressed in a form in which the first start winning detection process of FIG. 7 described in the first embodiment and the second start winning detection process of FIG. 8 are integrated. That is, in this embodiment (FIG. 21), the start condition is established when a ball wins either the first start chucker 12 (first start winning opening) or the second start chucker 13 (second start winning opening). (Refer to FIG. 2), the success / failure lottery (internal lottery) is performed by a single lottery means. Further, the lottery result is distributed and stored in the first hold (first special symbol storage area 24a) or second hold (second special symbol storage area 24b) corresponding to the winning start chuckers 12 and 13 (FIG. 6). (See (b)). In this way, the CPU 22 (see FIG. 5) also functions as a distribution unit that distributes the lottery result to the first lottery result and the second lottery result.

  Specifically, in S101 of FIG. 21, it is confirmed whether any of the start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting winning detectors 32 and 33) has detected the starting winning. If any of the winning detections (YES in S101), an internal lottery is executed in S102, and in S103, which start chucker 12, 13 (starting winning detectors 32, 33) was detected again. Confirm and assign the lottery result storage destination.

  At this time, if the first start chucker 12 (first start winning detector 32) is a winning detection (YES in S103), the number of first special symbols to be held (stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a) in S104. It is determined whether or not (number) has reached four. If the number of holding of the first special symbol is 3 or less (NO in S104), the lottery result in S102 is stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a as the first lottery result in S105, and the prize ball is paid out in S106. Give instructions and return. If the number of reserved first symbol symbols has reached four (YES in S104), a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S106 and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the winning is detected by the second start chucker 13 (second starting winning detector 33) (NO in S103), the number of reserved second symbols (the number stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b) in S107. ) Is determined whether it has reached four. If the number of second special symbols held is 3 or less (NO in S107), the lottery result of S102 is stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b as the second lottery result in S108, and the prize ball is paid out in S106 Give instructions and return. If the number of reserved second special symbols has reached four (YES in S107), a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S106 and the process returns. If neither start chucker 12, 13 (start winning detectors 32, 33) has detected a start winning (NO in S101), the process immediately returns.

  In this embodiment, the processing following FIG. 21 is executed in the same manner as in FIGS. 9 to 16 (Embodiment 1), and thus the description thereof is omitted.

(Example 3)
The flowchart showing the start winning detection process of FIG. 22 is expressed in a form in which the first start winning detection process of FIG. 7 described in the first embodiment and the second start winning detection process of FIG. 8 are integrated. In other words, in this embodiment (FIG. 22), the start condition is established when a ball wins either the first start chucker 12 (first start winning opening) or the second start chucker 13 (second start winning opening). (Refer to FIG. 2), the success / failure lottery (internal lottery) is performed by a single lottery means. Further, the lottery results are alternately distributed and stored in the first hold (first special symbol storage area 24a) and the second hold (second special symbol storage area 24b) regardless of the winning start chuckers 12 and 13. (See FIG. 6B). In this way, the CPU 22 (see FIG. 5) also functions as a distribution unit that distributes the lottery result to the first lottery result and the second lottery result.

  Specifically, in S201 of FIG. 22, it is confirmed whether any of the start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting winning detectors 32 and 33) has detected the starting winning. If any of the winnings is detected (YES in S201), an internal lottery is executed in S202, and it is reconfirmed in S203 whether the hold flag is set (switched) “1” or “2”. The lottery results are stored alternately.

  At this time, if the hold flag is set (switched) to “1” (YES in S203), the number of hold of the first special symbol (the number of memories stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a) is set to 4 in S204. It is determined whether it has been reached. If the number of holds of the first special symbol is 3 or less (NO in S204), the lottery result of S202 is stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a as the first lottery result in S205, and the hold flag is set in S206. After changing to “2”, a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S207 and the process returns. If the number of reserved first symbol symbols has reached 4 (YES in S204), a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S207 and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the hold flag is set (switched) to “2” (NO in S203), the number of second special symbols held (the number stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b) reaches four in S208. It is determined whether or not. If the number of the second special symbol hold is 3 or less (NO in S208), the lottery result of S202 is stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b as the second lottery result in S209, and the hold flag is set in S210. After changing to "1", a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S207 and the process returns. If the number of reserved special symbols has reached four (YES in S208), a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S207 and the process returns. If neither start chucker 12, 13 (start winning detector 32, 33) detects a start winning (NO in S201), the process immediately returns.

  In this embodiment, the processing following FIG. 22 is executed in the same manner as in FIGS.

Example 4
The flowchart showing the start winning detection process in FIG. 23 is expressed in a form in which the first start winning detection process in FIG. 7 described in the first embodiment and the second start winning detection process in FIG. 8 are integrated. That is, in this embodiment (FIG. 23), the start condition is satisfied when a ball wins either the first start chucker 12 (first start winning opening) or the second start chucker 13 (second start winning opening). (Refer to FIG. 2), the success / failure lottery (internal lottery) is performed by a single lottery means. Further, the lottery result is stored as a common hold. That is, in this embodiment, one of the first special symbol storage area 24a and the second special symbol storage area 24b (see FIG. 6B) can be omitted.

  The flowchart showing the special symbol call processing of FIG. 24 is expressed in an integrated form of the first special symbol call processing of FIG. 9 and the second special symbol call processing of FIG. 11 described in the first embodiment. Has been. That is, in this embodiment (FIG. 24), the symbol display information based on the reserved lottery result is distributed and output to the symbol display areas 441 and 442 where the variable display can be started from the first special symbol and the second special symbol. Is done. In this way, the CPU 22 (see FIG. 5) also functions as a distribution unit that distributes the lottery result into the first symbol display information based on the first lottery result and the second symbol display information based on the second lottery result. Yes.

  Specifically, in S301 of FIG. 23, it is confirmed whether any of the start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting winning detectors 32 and 33) has detected the starting winning. If any of the winnings is detected (YES in S301), an internal lottery is executed in S302, and it is determined in S303 whether the number of special symbols held (the number of special symbol storage areas) has reached four. To do. If the number of special symbols held is 3 or less (NO in S303), the lottery result of S302 is stored in the special symbol storage area in S304, a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S305, and the process returns. If the number of special symbols held has reached four (YES in S303), a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S305 and the process returns. Further, if neither of the start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting prize detectors 32 and 33) has detected a starting prize (NO in S301), the process immediately returns.

  Next, in S321 of FIG. 24, it is confirmed whether there is one or more special symbol holding numbers (the number of special symbol storage areas). If there is a special symbol hold (YES in S321), it is confirmed in S322 whether both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are in a variable display. If both the special symbols are not in the variable display (NO in S322), it is determined in S323 whether the big hit flag is ON. If neither the first jackpot nor the second jackpot is activated (NO in S323), the oldest lottery result is called in S324, and it is reconfirmed in S325 whether the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. If the first special symbol is not being displayed (NO in S325), the first special symbol variation processing subroutine (see FIG. 10) in S25 is executed and the process returns. If the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner (YES in S325), the second special symbol variation processing subroutine (see FIG. 12) in S35 is executed and the process returns.

  Further, when there is no special symbol hold (NO in S321), both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are being displayed in a variable manner (YES in S322), and the jackpot flag is ON (YES in S323). ) Immediately return (without executing any variation processing subroutine). That is, when there is no hold, when both symbol variations are performed, and when the jackpot is being hit, a new symbol variation is not started.

  In this embodiment, the processing following FIG. 24 is executed in the same manner as in FIGS. 13 to 16 (Embodiment 1), and thus the description thereof is omitted.

The following modifications may be added to the above-described embodiments and modifications.
(1) You may alert | report which special symbol was a big hit at the time of the big hit decision (YES in S256 of FIG. 10, or YES in S356 of FIG. 12).
(2) After the jackpot, a probability changing function may be added instead of the time saving function or in addition to the time saving function. Moreover, you may make it rush into a time shortening or a probability change at a predetermined ratio after the big hit.

(3) When one of the two display areas 441 and 442 is a symbol change or jackpot display and the other is a standby display, the other display area cannot be expanded beyond the standard position. Alternatively, the restriction (suppression) condition may be that one display area cannot be reduced from the standard position. As a result, it is possible to prevent a state in which many players are quiet and inactive despite playing.
(4) The division position of the symbol display area operated (set) by the player using the display movement dials 60, 61, 62 may be automatically changed (returned) on the pachinko gaming machine side. The change timing is as follows: (a) when a big hit occurs on the small symbol display area side, (b) when a predetermined time has elapsed since the last operation of the display movement dials 60, 61, 62, and (c) after the big hit You can select from the following:

(5) A display area moving through chucker different from the through chucker 11 is provided in the game area, and every time a ball passing through the display area moving through chucker is detected, the first symbol display area 441 of the liquid crystal display unit 44 The display range of the second symbol display area 442 may be changed. For example, a first display range moving through chucker is provided on the left side of the game area, and when a ball passing through the first display range moving through chucker is detected, the boundary line 440 is moved to the left side, and the first symbol display area 441 is displayed. At the same time, the second symbol display area 442 is enlarged. On the other hand, a second display range moving through chucker is provided on the right side of the game area. When a ball passing through the second display range moving through chucker is detected, the boundary line 440 is moved to the right side, and the first symbol display area 441 is displayed. At the same time as making it wider, the second symbol display area 442 is made narrower. In this case, the combination of the firing handle 5 and the display range moving through chucker is the display selection means.

(6) In the embodiment, the winning lottery is performed using the different lottery tables 231 and 23m for the two starting winning ports 12 and 13, but the same for the two starting winning ports 12 and 13 ( A common lottery table is used to determine whether or not the lottery is performed, and the lottery result is divided and held for each start winning opening, and the symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 44 by the display information output means corresponding to each lottery result held. (Output) may be used.

(7) As in Embodiments 2 to 4, when the lottery result associated with the establishment of the start condition is divided into the first lottery result and the second lottery result and two sets of symbol display information are output, the first start The chucker 12 may be omitted, and the second start chucker 13 may be used as a single start winning opening.
